'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe': Introducing C. S. Lewis' Narnian Classic
Class experience
C. S. Lewis' enduring and perennially popular classic, 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' has proven for generations that people still love fairy tales, by which I mean stories set in other worlds that have a deep significance for our own. The novel's enthralling storyline, with its great themes of courage and sacrifice, continues to inspire young people more than seventy years after it was published in 1950.

1 file available upon enrollmentStudents are provided with a sample of my guide to the text, which includes extracts, writing activities and quiz questions. If they wish to read the first two chapters before class, they will also need to purchase a copy of the text itself. Other than this, they only need pen and paper.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
There are some frightening and violent scenes in the novel as a whole (although not in the passage on which we focus in this taster lesson). The children's lives are threatened on several occasions. There is a scene where Peter fights and slays a wolf who is trying to kill his sisters. Aslan's death on the Stone Table, surrounded by evil creatures, is a particularly frightening moment. There is a battle scene at the end. However, there is no detailed or gory description of the violence, as the novel is intended for young readers. Note that, as with most classic literature, this text has a religious dimension, which needs to be explained as cultural context for the novel to be understood properly, just as it would be if one were studying Dickens or Shakespeare.
